Chapter 316 Shocking News

"What happened? Why are you so angry? And where is our son now?" Tang Wan immediately bombarded her husband with questions after Long Jiuxiao entered their house.

Listening to his wife's questions, Long Jiuxiao's expression became increasingly ugly. "That bastard Luo Zhenhai didn't follow my orders! He and his daughter didn't even try to arrest Chen Li! They even left immediately after talking to them, and I don't know about their conversation."

But alas, Long Jiuxiao still didn't know that Luo Zhenhai already knew about all his and his associates' crimes. Moreover, he himself did not have the confidence that he and his daughter could arrest Chen Li, especially since there were so many powerful people in the mansion.

"Then what about our son?" Tang Wan asked him again with a gloomy look.

Long Jiuxiao shook his head at her. "I don't know our son's condition yet, for I myself don't dare approach their mansion, or they will attack me directly, and there is no way I can win against them."

'What a coward!' Jin Kang muttered in his heart as he left them. 'He always acted arrogantly because of his high authority in this country, but it was all useless in front of that man and his wife.'

Hearing her husband's answer, Tang Wan thought in her heart. 'Should I go to Chen Li to beg him to release my son? But if I go to see him now, he will definitely do something like that to me again, and I can't possibly resist him.'

"Where is your father? Have you gone to him for help?"

Her husband's question woke Tang Wan from her thoughts, and she shook her head before explaining it to him. "Last night, I went to my father's house, but he was going abroad to attend a business meeting, and I still haven't been able to contact him up to now."

"I see." Long Jiuxiao then turned on the TV, and the news was broadcasting about murder incidents that occurred in various corners of the city, including on the small hill near the Dongfang House.

The reporters also reported that the number of victims that had been found was truly numerous; even some of the corpses were accidentally recorded by their cameras, which sent the entire city of Beijing into chaos, and people from the government had to move to calm them down.

Unfortunately, the police couldn't find the corpses of the Qin family members, especially since Chen Li burned their corpses to ashes before he took Jiang Xaorou and her two children back to their home.

Even though she had heard everything from her husband when he talked with Luo Zhenhai at dawn, Tang Wan had not previously known about the exact number of Chen Li's victims, so she was truly shocked when she heard the news that the number of victims was over a hundred, and she became increasingly worried about her son's safety. "Did he really kill them all overnight?"

"Yes!" Long Jiuxiao nodded and took a deep breath. "That bastard is truly a cold-blooded murderer! Not only did he kill Han Xian and the others, but he also killed all of their relatives, including Qin Wang and others."

Tang Wan clutched her skirt tightly, and she made up her mind. 'I don't care what will happen to me, but I have to go see Chen Li, and I will beg him to release Aotian.'

Suddenly, Huang Tian's smartphone rang, and he immediately read the incoming message before getting up. "Wife, I have to go to the bureau; Wang Yu and Xiao Yang are waiting for me there, and you shouldn't leave this house because the situation in this city is very chaotic right now."

Even so, Tang Wan did not listen to her husband's words, and after Long Jiuxiao left their house, she changed clothes and left the house to meet Chen Li, as she was very afraid that he would do something bad to Long Aotian.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ming and Huang Rong were sitting in the living room waiting for their daughter, who was still taking her children to their school, but their expressions looked terrible after they saw all the news on TV.

"Do you think Chen Li really killed our in-laws, husband?"

Jian Ming shook his head at her. "Even though Long Jiuxiao and Mao Tianxie said that Chen Li also killed them, all the news said that the police couldn't find their corpses, so I don't know whether he killed them or not."

"This incident is truly horrific, and it is one of the largest murders that has ever occurred in our country." Huang Rong muttered to herself as she continued to pay attention to the news.

Jiang Ming then told her. "Anyway, our father will come to this city tonight; the higher-ups from the government asked all the family heads to gather to discuss this matter, and I will also join them."

"Do you think they will take action against Chen Li?" Huang Rong asked as she turned to her husband.

Jiang Ming could only sigh after hearing that. "Based on Mao Tianxie's information, Chen Li is very powerful and terrifying, and he can transform into a strange creature similar to a dragon. Moreover, he knows about their superpowers, and Xuanyuan Wan'er is also on his side. So I don't know what decision the government will take against him later, and I'm sure they will think repeatedly about taking repressive measures against him."

"That's true." Huang Rong nodded in agreement. "Chen Li is already frightening, and I'm not sure that they will be able to face him if Xuanyuan Wan'er also helps him."

But alas, Huang Rong's thoughts were completely wrong, for the current Chen Li was stronger than Xuanyuan Wan'er, and he didn't really need her help to deal with all of them.

*Tap... Tap...*

Suddenly, Jiang Xiaorou had returned from her children's school, and Huang Rong called her to sit with them, but she then showed her a shopping bag. "I'll make us something to drink first, and we'll talk afterward."

Huang Rong then turned to her husband. "Don't you feel something strange about our daughter?"

"Hmm?" Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows for a moment. "I don't see anything strange about our daughter, but we can ask her directly after this."

In the kitchen, Jiang Xiaorou prepared some drinks for them as she smiled faintly, and she then mixed a strange liquid into their drinks, plus she also mixed her blood into them.

After that, Jiang Xiorou went to her parents and gave them the drinks, and she sat in front of them. "Why do you two keep looking at me like that?"

Huang Rong unhesitatingly drank the drink before asking her daughter. "Where are your husband and in-laws now? Aren't you guys supposed to go to Tangshan? Your father and I went there last night, but we couldn't find you all there, so we went here and only found the three of you."

Hearing that, Jiang Xiaorou wore a sad expression, and she then told them according to Chen Li's previous instructions. "At first, we were on our way to Tangshan, but that man suddenly intercepted us on the road."

"Then what happened? Did Chen Li kill them?" Jiang Ming impatiently asked.

Jiang Xiaorou sighed heavily and continued her explanation. "Honestly, I'm still confused about what happened next, Dad. After that man intercepted us, I suddenly fell unconscious, and I was already in this house when I woke up. After that, I contacted them, but their cell phone numbers are turned off, so I don't know what happened to them yet. That's why I didn't talk about this matter to you earlier, for I didn't want my two children to worry about their father."

They nodded in understanding at that. After all, their grandchildren were still very young, so they felt it was natural that Jiang Xiaorou did not want to discuss the matter in front of them.

"What should we do now, Dad?" Jiang Xiaorou asked by pretending to be anxious. "I'm really worried about my husband, and I'm afraid that man will kill him too."

Jiang Ming sighed upon hearing his daughter's words, and he then downed the drink in his glass. "Xiaorou, there is a high possibility that your husband and in-laws have been killed by Chen Li, but we have to wait for an answer from the police, especially since they still haven't been able to find their corpses."

Instantly, tears dripped from Jiang Xiaorou's eyes, but she was laughing in her heart, for she no longer cared about their fate, especially after Chen Li gave her the devil mark. "Is that true, Dad? What should I do now? How should I tell my children about this matter?"

Huang Rong sighed softly, moved to sit beside her daughter, and hugged Jiang Xiaorou. "I know you must be very sad right now, but you must stay strong for your children, and you don't tell them about this matter. Moreover, your grandparents will arrive in town tonight, and they will have a meeting with people from the government directly, and we will take action against Chen Li after we get the results of the meeting."

"En." Jiang Xiaorou simply nodded and hugged her mother back, but she was muttering in her heart. 'I have to contact Master immediately to inform him about this matter, and I also have to tell him that they have drunk my fluids and blood, so he can carry out his plan against them.'
